r/HomeImprovement on Reddit: Anyone ever ordered and build one of those Menard's buildings or garages?
November 13, 2023 -

I'm talking about one of the post buildings or garages here: https://www.menards.com/main/buildings/c-834636628733788.htm

I'm curious what your experience was. Did you build it yourself or hire someone to build it? What were your costs on top of what Menard's charges for their "kit"? Opinions on whether this is cost effective or not? I assume hiring someone to build it would double the costs or more.

Thanks. I recently acquired a lot and wanted an oversized detached garage and priced one of these out that fits my zoning and wanted some opinions from someone who had already done this. I don't know enough to do this "from scratch".

Hello, I am looking to install a garage this fall and wanted to look at different options. One of the cheaper options is a garage kit from Menard's, there are others but Menard's is close to my neighborhood.

How much did yours cost?

How long did it take you to build?

Did you do your own footer/pad?

Did you hire extra help?

If you have the skillset and tools, building a garage is pretty easy whether if its "a kit" or not. Thats really the starting point.

Never used a kit, but have helped many times to build houses and garages. I'm assuming you mean detached and "frame up", not that you have a garage frame (attached or not) and just need to put up insulation, drywall, shelving, lights, doors, etc.. You must have a foundation and poured slab. This is not likely something your local code will allow you to do yourself. Even if it does, it's hard, cumbersome and will require a registered inspection you can legally frame on it. Framing is not difficult, but you must conform to local and state building codes. Then there is electrical, assuming you have enough spare overhead in your existing electrical panel. If detached, you'll have to have a trench dug (to code) for running electrical to the building. Again, must pass inspection. And actually #1, did you confirm you have landspace for this garage? You will need local approval too. Then there is the roofing... Then the finish work. I.e. Insulation, drywall, hangers or shelving, doors, door openers (yes some of the springs are VERY dangerous but the new designs are very safe and use a standard cord/less drill for changing tension). Having done all this work myself, if I were you (heck, even me now...) I would pay someone to do all of it. Just be active in all aspects. Go to your local builder association and ask for a typical punch list so you can check off the work and quality. FYI: if something doesn't seem right to you, it's not...
